Sam's Club now taking iPhone 4S reservations

If you haven't pre-ordered an iPhone 4S and really want one at launch, then you should check out Sam's Club before you start staking out your place in line. Starting today at 10:00 a.m. local time, customers can travel to the discount retailer and reserve an iPhone 4S on a first come, first service basis.

All reserved iPhones will be available for pickup starting on October 14th. All you will need is a Sam's Club membership, your iTunes account information and any pertinent carrier information necessary to setup your new iPhone. The promotion doesn't say how many phones will be made available, but customers should expect the numbers to be limited as the iPhone 4S is flying off the virtual shelves. Early estimates suggest that Apple sold over one million handsets in one 24-hour period right after the pre-orders went live.

Not very smart, these people at Sam's Club. I was placed on passed around and put on hold continuously for 15 minutes before I finally got someone who was in the department. She told me that the iPhone 5 is not coming to Sprint, to which I replied I know, it's the iPhone 4S and Apple is offering it on the Sprint network for the first time this year. She was adamant that her store is only allowing preorders of the AT&T and Verizon versions. I checked the Sam's Club list, they are offering all three at their store. Just a glorified Walmart, as far as I'm concerned.

Called another location and the manager is not in, so they're not starting the process today, but when they do, it's only the first 10 reservations are accepted, and they have to pick their reservation by 5PM that Friday or it's released for general sale.

Chandra is right-- Atlanta area Sam's Club stores are only selling the 16 gb ones as well.

The 1 million sold is not an estimate, it's a fact and was even reported right here on TUAW.
